Bellingham scores 10 runs in first inning of 13-4 win

Eliza Rossman struck out 12 batters and went 4 for 4 with a double and two RBI to lead Bellingham’s softball team in its 13-4 victory against Friday Harbor on Thursday, April 2, at Bellingham High School.

The Red Raiders jumped out to an early 10-1 lead after the first inning and never looked back.

“We had five hits in the first inning and a couple extra base hits,” Bellingham coach Rick Ellis said in a phone interview. “We put the ball in play pretty hard and it resulted in some miscues on their (Friday Harbor’s) part and we took advantage.”

Carrie Latimer went 2 for 4 with a double and two RBI, Paige Jacobsen went 1 for 4 with a double and two RBI and Lindsey Richard went 1 for 3 with two runs and three RBI for Bellingham.
